Let me now share with you what's been happening since since 2005. For starters, watch these videoclips that uncover part of the plot:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwVY1kmjlNo<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNHUmvQ70Co<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVldSsmrr4w<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S35X3EdIC98<br /><br />Now, use the info from those ground-reports & link it to the absence of any local community spending that ought to be done by the Village Panchayats. You will have to recall that there has been a systematic campaign since 2008 to assassinate all elected Sarpanchs heading each Gram/village Panchayat. Once this happens, then the Block Development Officer is unable to distribute the developmental funds since the BDO has to work in conjunction with the Sarpanch whenever there's a state govt in power. The BDO can directly disburse funds only when President's rule is imposed, not otherwise. So, assassinated Sarpanches mean no developmental funds for public utilities, which results in economic disenfranchisement & rising unemployment. These issues are then blown out of proportions during weekly Friday sermons by the Muftis throughout the thousands of mosques that have sprung up in J & K since 2005. Consequently, anti-administration sentiments run high & in order to earn a living, the youth are willing to sell their souls & kill their family-members or relatives.<br /><br />This is the kind of psychological warfare that has been going on since 2005 & its first ugly manifestation was seen in 2010. So, to blame the present-day Central & State govts for the current state-of-affairs will be unfair. One has to take a holistic view in order to obtain holistic solutions. What I have outlined is only the conspiratorial pattern that has been known since 2010. Question is, do we still stay defensive or we go on the offensive the smart way & make the enemy pay an unaffordable price. Prasun K.

regarding the current tensions in J&a...@Prasun da,<br /><br />regarding the current tensions in J&K, i feel that it was very poor strategy by the Union Govt which let us down. They could not grasp that situation can go out of control on Wani's death, which amazes me . The first thing which came to my mind (a commoner) on hearing his elimination was that, S.Kashmir is going to erupt now. I have never been to J&K and only have information from reading about it. But even then i could read the writing on the wall, which our government and forces missed? Wani was a difficult target, not militarily, but because he was effectively using social media. It would have been more prudent that he was captured alive, if not, his death being disclosed after a few years like what US does, and he being buried as an unidentified terrorist. I dont know our government is this dumb.<br /><br />Even when the things went out of hand, we let Wani to be poster boy, and allowed him to do more damage than when he was alive. A single most question comes to my mind is why our forces (not army) are not able to do crowd control in non-lethal ways. I am sure there would have been ample methods available to perform it, especially after 2010 stone pelting experience. This way, we let go the hard earned security gains in J&K by alienating a dumb population. <br /><br />On the second part, the counter argument by a Mr. Kashmiri to Major Gaurav was a lame one. While human dignity violations are to be deplored, where ever that be, the guy is trying hard to use it as a (poor) mask for glorifying an act of terror. By that way, the family of a murder victim is right to wage a war against other innocent people?, just because he did not get justice!...crazy logic. I found major Gaurav's line to be sensible. No country in this world will silently allow cessation, India is no exception. So if your will is to fight to cause a separation by force, then be ready to outdo the forces of the target country or be killed. In war with IA, seriously you dont stand a chance, and it is just a matter of time before you are eliminated or caught alive (if lucky). So it is fair, the end was written the day he chose gun, so why sentiments now. Just because he was purportedly handsome?...does it mean a terrorist has to be ugly and into his late 30s or 40s. That you prefer to be killed by a handsome teenager, than by an ugly one, crazy logic!!!<br /><br />The Mr. Kashmiri again glosses over the fact that none of the separatist's kin are there in the business and compares that our soldiers may also not have the kin in forces. But see the stupidity, are our soldiers asking all others except kin to risk their lives in a fight, while their kin are out there leading good life? No, they are professionally in that job, and doing it sincerely. It is a matter of sheer criminal negligence if a 5 year or an underage dies in police firing, and that onus of the crime rests with the guardians of the kid not the forces. Why you take an underage to harms way? Because the dead kid or woman sells better?...how criminal thought it is.<br /><br />However, i feel that crowd management has to be done in humane ways as much as possible. No human rights violations are appreciable. Loss of every life is terrible, when the person is unarmed. We should adopt modern methods to give proportionate punishment to each crime. Sadly, i feel here we did badly.<br /><br />apologies for a long post,<br /><br />Sreenivas R.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-23596554800682507222016-07-20T07:06:51.816+05:302016-07-20T07:06:51.816+05:30"Clinton couldn't care less since he was ..."Clinton couldn't care less since he was deeply engrossed in getting hard-ons from Monica Lewinsky" - I beg your pardon Prasun.

The RR was still in the process of being raised at that time, nor were CRPF personnel available in large numbers at that time. So, it is a given that the inhuman treatment he he was meted out (assuming it to be true) wasn't the handiwork of the IA. <br /><br />Secondly, from 1993 onwards, the RR introduced a novel system of cordon-and-search of settled areas, under which elders of that locality were first assembled & the operations by the IA, CRPF, BSF & J & K Police were all conducted under the supervision of these elders & they were witnesses to this entire process. It was only after this that the hearts & minds were won & by 1996 all the Pakistan-trained Kashmiris were alienated & isolated. The hard-core Fidayeen Jihadis came from different countries like Algeria, Libya, Yemen, the breakaway region of Russian Chechnya, Sudan & Morocco. Very few Afghanis were eliminated. What it means is that the Afghan Taliban & even OBL were loathe to send their own cadres into J & K, & preferred instead to use the non-Saudi Arabs & Chechans as expendable cannon-fodder. Kashmiris on either side of the LoC never had the stomach for becoming matharon (long haul) insurgents. It is just not part of their DNA. <br /><br />Now coming to the other rebuttals, here they are:<br /><br />Claim-1: I will not take this back to history and talk about why there is insurgency to begin with. I’m sure you are well aware of it. If not then you’re being conveniently ignorant.<br />Reality: He's trying to give the same line of reasoning that Pakistan always advances, i.e. terrorism or insurgency are legitimate effects of the cause ('political dissatisfaction). That may well have been the case pre-9/11. Post-9.11, the goalposts have been moved & legally or morally, there's no ethically or morally justifiable cause for armed insurrection. But this is exactly what is being propagated as the Islam of the Mullahs & Maulanas, as opposed to what Allah's Islam proclaims.<br /><br />Claim-2: If J & K is an ‘integral’ part of India then why do not the laws of democracy apply there? <br />Reality: They do apply. Just a simple check of the areas/districts that come under AFSPA's jurisdiction will prove it. What portions of Jammu, northern J & K & Ladakh come under AFSPA? How many Kashmiris know about this? If folks living in those portions of J & K where AFSPA doesn't apply can live & thrive with dignity, what exactly is the problem with those J & K residents in Central & South J & K who come under AFSPA's purview? Were they born to be more equal than others? <br /><br />Claim-3: Apparently he became a militant because the army trashed his brother unconscious in front of him. That probably was the first nail.<br />Reality: This only shows how little this Wani fella knew about Allah's Islam & hence his low threshold of tolerance. As opposed to this, one can cite several tens of examples of Indian Muslims who were wronged by law enforcement agencies by being kept as undertrials for several years, but they NEVER retaliated with force-of-arms. Instead, they accepted the challenge, used the criminal justice system of India to legally win their cases & clean their reputations, & they therefore are truly deserving of financial compensation from the Govt of India. Such people have prevailed & emerged victorious because they chose the righteous path, as opposed to a self-righteous path adopted by the likes of Burhan Wani & his family elders.<br /><br />Cont'd below...<br />Prasun K.

So far, no country other than Pakistan has even bothered to raise this issue in any international fora or make any adverse comment on the goings-on. Yes, there is indeed a problem, & that concerns a divided land & therefore the problem can be resolved only after the divided lands are reunited. In any counter-insurgency situation, the local folks of that area have no other option but to endure repeated security checks, friskings etc etc that are conducted in remote rural areas close to the LoC. The choice then is being alive & surviving versus yearning for a dignified existence. The world at large won't make any adverse comment against India because India possesses hundreds of tonnes of documentary evidence of state-sponsored cross-border terrorism in the form of several tens of non-Kashmiri Pakistani infiltrators from Punjab & KPK now languishing in Indian prisons, several hundred thousands of assault rifles & sniper rifles, hand-grenades & lakhs of rounds of ammo, hundreds of RPG rounds and several tens of GPS receivers--all of which are routinely shown to almost all foreign diplomats & Defence Attaches based in Delhi. In fact, the GPS receivers are always sent to forensic labs of various European & North American countries for authenticating their pre-programmed navigation maps. Hence, all that Pakistan can do is claim that terrorism is an effect because of the cause, i.e. India's military/paramilitary presence in J & K that prevents the natives of (only) Kashmir from voicing their dissent. In return, the whole world except Pakistan replies back saying that armed insurrection of armed Jihad is not the way to fight for Azaadi of any kind. Even the Palestinians in West Bank have done away with violence, while those in the Gaza Strip who refuse to lay down their arms continue to be eliminated mercilessly & no one, not even Turkey now, sheds any tears for them. And lastly, at a time when Europe & North America are being increasingly being targetted by suicidal Jihadists, do you really reckon anyone there has a stomach for realisation of 'azaadi' through armed insurrection? In fact, all indications are that these countries will give India a huge pat on the back for inflicting proportional damage on such Jihadists, be it through firing pelletised rounds or eliminating armed Jihadi combatants through intelligence-based shoot-to-kill operations, as was the case with the likes of Burhan Wani. Hell, this is precisely what is being done even by the Pakis in FATA & Balochistan. Thus, Pakistan can never expect the world to believe that its self-righteous & duplicitous PoV superior to the PoV of others. Prasun K.

After all, she was just the messenger, not the policymaker of the US & she therefore was uttering what she had been instructed to say by her superiors in the Clinton Administration. And the reason was that at that time Clinton was passionately lobbying for the CTBT to be ratified with India's help & approval as a signatory. But India did not budge at that time & like what Jaswant Singh did later from 1998 onwards with Strobe Talbott, India in 1996 began holding a nuclear dialogue with the US (just to buy time), which in turn mollified the US & six months after Robin Raphael's first statement, she was back in Delhi saying that J & K was an integral part of India & any point of dispute about it with Pakistan was resolvable under the 1972 Simla Agreement. So, these US policy turnarounds in the past were tailored towards furthering US foreign policy objectives of that time. In addition, from 1991 till 1997, Russian foreign policy was virtually being dictated by the US, & US State Dept officials during this period were actually embedded within the Russian Foreign Ministry, which further emboldened the US to try to impose the CTBT on everyone else. Only by 1998 Russia's Yeltsin had had enough of all this & drove out the US State Dept advisers, by which time the CTBT was a dead-duck & Clinton couldn't care less since he was deeply engrossed in getting hard-ons from Monica Lewinsky. Had P V Narasimha Rao or anyone else had enjoyed a clear single-party majority in Parliament in 1996, the Shakti-2 tests would have been conducted anytime after June 1996. While the boosted-fission warheads were ready for testing by December 10, 1995, the thermonuclear warhead design was available only by June 1996. All this is now documented in the book HALF-LION, based on the personal diary notations of the late PVNR. Prasun K.

In Fair’s view, Indians were right to be angry about the US South Asian policy, but mistaken about where to put the blame. “Looking back, the policies towards Kashmir, Pakistan and Afghanistan were wrong,” says C Christine Fair, an assistant professor in the Center for Peace and Security Studies (CPASS), within Georgetown University’s Edmund A Walsh School of Foreign Service.<br />""""""<br /><br />http://www.openthemagazine.com/article/open-essays/the-lady-india-loved-to-hate#page5<br />Arpit Kanodiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16467626553252165462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-87849629574892519472016-07-19T23:19:45.871+05:302016-07-19T23:19:45.871+05:30@HPatel Your only concern is Kashmir?

Read reports sometime back that said China withdrew from actual Sumdrong Chu but keeps vigil from surrounding mountain tops thus not allowing IA to venture into that area, how true?<br /><br />3. why was nose cone of Brahmos A redesigned and what is this 36 on the warhead<br />http://defense-update.com/20160625_brahmos_fly_on_su30mki.html<br /><br />4. the answer you gave to RON regarding attack on PoK seem to be very easy & preplanned, do you really think PA or its COAS havent figured it by now<br /><br />5. tanks in eastern ladakh probably nyoma could this mean similar air land campaign in aksai chin ?? <br />http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/india-positions-tanks-in-eastern-ladakh-to-take-on-possible-chinese-threat-1432981?pfrom=home-lateststories<br /><br />6. it makes me believe the supposed air land campaign that you say will come against Pak is actually abt trying to send msg to China with reagards to SCS, already heard China has closed part of SCS for naval exersize, your view<br /><br />7. The coup seems to have given turkish prez more popwer to make the country more islamist quite opposite to the Atta Turk principals of secularism. i think IS may well spread into Turkey if it suffer more in syria or iraq (kurds are enemy for both turkey/IS)???<br /><br />thanks<br /><br />Joydeep Ghoshjoydeep ghoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00038225081192821456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-33191776027717837312016-07-19T10:42:27.002+05:302016-07-19T10:42:27.002+05:30If you switch to Russia India report site is there...If you switch to Russia India report site is there any truth and fact behind all those "news " or is it someone eats stuff that doesn't agree with their digestive order and ends up dreaming up dreams due to indigestion?Millard Keyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11977478261887311256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-82522715985719119212016-07-19T06:42:56.662+05:302016-07-19T06:42:56.662+05:30To BROWN DESI: Kindly browse through this:

Analysis of Twitter, Facebook and other social media reactions for the week July 8-14 found that of a sample of 1.26 lakh responses, 54,285 or 45% were from unknown geographical locations. About 49,159 responses, or 40%, were from India while over 8%, or 10,110, were from Pakistan. "This is a worrying trend because it indicates that there is a proxy war in cyberspace that Pakistan is indulging in. People are tweeting or commenting in the social media space to spark off trouble and there is no accountability,'' sources in the information and broadcasting (I & B) ministry said. Officials said that those posting comments may have switched off their location so that they could not be traced. The report reveals that the rest of the responses came from countries like the US (3,246), UK (1,463), UAE (849), Australia (472), Canada (406), Saudi Arabia (402) and China (394). Officials tracking social media see this as a test case. Wani, 22, is largely known to have popularised the image of militancy in J & K. His extensive use of social media made him a figure admired by the youth, sources said. Soon after he was shot dead in an encounter, hashtags like #BurhanWani, #PakistanstandswithKashmir and #KashmirUnrest started trending. <br /><br />http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Pakistan-may-be-waging-proxy-war-in-cyberspace-too/articleshow/53273657.cms<br />Prasun K.

The Pakistani establishment has attempted to use CPEC and its friendship with China as a strategy for balancing regional power, mainly against India, with less focus on the economic advantages of the initiative. Another issue which Chinese experts often highlight is the lack of any scientific approach in Pakistan, with indirect references to the fact that the eastern route—much more feasible from economic, security and strategic perspectives—should be prioritised. According to their rationale, a scientific approach is needed to manage costs and long routes. However, a political government cannot sell this idea as it incurs a political cost.Prasun K.

As for matching AAMs with aircraft-types, there are scores of photos uploaded since 2011 that clear show what's armed with what.<br /><br />To SRINAVASA NANDURI: There's no need for a twin-engined LUH when the existing Dhruv ALH can be re-engineered to incorporate folding main rotor blades & folding tail while at the same time slightly stretching the fuselage so that more internal fuel tanks can be accommodated to increase flight endurance. Why this approach hasn't been adopted as yet remains a mystery to me. A simple re-engineering is all it takes, as has been done to the baseline Lynx and AW-139 fuselages. It is for HAL to come up with such re-engineered solutions. Prasun K. Senguptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17625525921341864605noreply@blogger.com
